[RELEASED] for UE4: Complete Sky and Weather System

[James_Simul]

1. Great. I will check it out.
2. Can I run the same cloud sequence but drive the amount of clouds or weather conditions locally, and interpolate the values if a player comes closer to a source of weather effect changing origin. So if a control weather spell is cast in a location it will change weather for local players around it gradually. I know I cant add at runtime a “Storm” to the sequence… But I can control the rain amount from 0-1 value at runtime?
3. Enough to experiment. The bayonacy works great. More realistic than expected.
4. How to make a proper shoreline on beach or lake-shore ? I see there is a rendertarget input but I haven’t found a rendertarget capture class for water?

One additional question. The full expensive licence for non-indie studios comes with setup support or some professional training or Q&A sessions over skype?

1. Great

2. We have cloud layers. These layers can be fully customised at runtime, however they currently encapsulate the whole sky. So any changes would apply to the whole sky, on that layer. Rain and storms are regional and can be controlled at runtime.

3. Let me know if you have questions, we aim to have a new documentation up week.

4. Ill copy what I have written in the new docs for Shore

5. Yes we do our best to provide support as much as requested, if that is through our Slack channel or Skype Calls

To use the Shore , add a 2D Scene depth camera into your project, with only Scene depth in R enabled.

Next, create a RenderTexture, setting it to capture only the Red channel

Now, attach the RenderTexture to the 2DSceneCapture, and attach the Camera to the correct water instance.

You can now place the camera above where you want to apply the effect (pointing downwards), and adjust the Shore Depth Width and Extents to your liking.
